WILLIAM MARSHALL, ESQ. who, in his "Planting and 

 Rural Ornament," has very properly transcribed the whole 



nature to more humane and salutary regulations of the country to pro- 

 duce the moral landscapes which delight the mind. His view of the good 

 mother, seeing her children playing round her at their cottage, near the 

 common, thus " endearing her home, and making even the air she breathed 

 more delightful to her, make these sort of commons, to me, the most de- 

 lightful of English gardens. The dwellings of the happy and peaceful hus- 

 bandmen would soon rise up in the midst of compact farms. Can there exist 

 a more delightful habitation for man, than a neat farm-house in the centre 

 of a pleasing landscape? There avoiding disease and lassitude, useless ex- 

 pence, the waste of land in large and dismal parks, and above all, by pre- 

 venting misery, and promoting happiness, we shall indeed have gained the 

 prize of having united the agreeable with the useful. Perhaps, when every 

 folly is exhausted, there will come a time, in which men will be so far en- 

 lightened as to prefer the real pleasures of nature to vanity and chimera."
